Lightweight Bonesaw

[pnwsteelheader]

Looking for recommendations of a lightweight foldable bonesaw for bringing into the backcountry, so weight is a premium. Am I better served just using a multi-tool? This would be used for blacktail and black bear in the PNW.

Would appreciate any input, thanks.

There’s a post in the diy section on this. Guy made his own and it was relatively simple to do if you have any hands on skills whatsoever.

Ultralight Saw Option

Hey everyone, Some of you may already know about this, but many might not be aware of it. I’m also apart of the backpacking light forum. There’s a member on there, Jan (I believe from Prague) that makes a super awesome 3D printed silky saw handle. If you like to carry a saw like me, you know...

$3 UL saw build (2023 update)

I have always wanted a saw to use for skull capping deer when backpacking to keep from having to carry the skull out. I looked at a few builds on here and elsewhere online. I weighed out the pros and cons of each, for my applications, and came up with this. 1/2" emt conduit scrap skeletonized...

My be unpopular opinion but I was looking into this same thing a few months ago. Most name brand saws are between 3 and 6 oz and cost $20. I realized time, energy, and money was gonna make a bigger impact elsewhere. A stout gerber is not sexy but it will cut when you need it to.

I picked up an Outdoor Edge folding saw and it’s under 3oz. Not the stoutest thing ever but has worked well so far.

This saw doesn’t fold, but I don’t think theres a more capable saw for the price and weight.

Might go with the Silky

Silky for me too, and most of the people that have gone with us.

+3 for Silky Pocketboy-FineTooth

If you want to convert to UltraLight, Jan(?) does 3 D printed silky handles

Have tried most and while not the best it is the best for all around,wood,bone etc.
Mine is orange and use it to trim limbs climbing,cut limbs in self made blinds,firewood, and bone if needed.
Price is good as well.
Silky is better at wood but not both and no way im using a multitool.
Some things are not worth the weight savings.

I haven't used a bone saw for around 50 years! Just one more thing to lug around! I bone out all my meat so really don't see a use. I usually do european mounts on my critters so no use for cutting off horn/antlers.
